Treehouse, a learn-to-code startup that seemingly adds new coursework by the minute, is rolling out a fun new course that will teach you how to make a self-destructing messaging app all of your own.

The course will take you through building an iOS Snapchat clone using backend-as-a-service Parse — a great starting point for would-be iPhone developers who need to get their feet wet.

“The Self-Destructing Message app gives students a chance to build a fun, professional-grade app that connects to a back-end system over the web,” said Treehouse CEO Ryan Carson in a statement on the news.

“The internals of the app touch on useful real-world components like tab and navigation controllers, alerts for error handling, and asynchronous processing of tasks to make the app really responsive.”
